Sky Woodward Quoted on American Disapproval of Class Action Coupon Settlements

Sky Woodward, partner in the Washington D.C. office, was quoted in Legal Newsline regarding the disapproval of how class action lawsuits are handled in the United States.

“This is stunning,” said Sky Woodward, chair of DRI’s Center for Law and Public Policy. “Literally hundreds of news articles and segments on the funding crisis, the curtailment of judicial services, trial delays, and very public warnings don’t seem to have had an impact on the public consciousness. While it may be that the courts are rarely used by the majority of citizens, we have to do a better job of explaining to the public that, whether or not they use them personally, the courts have a direct impact on their lives and livelihoods.”
